Editor's Notes
- Let them know that you are watching but don’t use this to scare tactic Be real about your potential...employees don’t need to feel like they are being watched like they are in a bank vault. Don’t use this as a scare tactic...using fear effects the culture you are trying to create Yes...you are being watched BUT....it’s not what you think
- Even if it’s a long way off. Share
- How do you do this? Share best practices and tips in employee communications vehicle
